SUMMARY:Intro to Arduino class
DESCRIPTION: We are excited to announce ﻿Thursday\, the 16th of December as the date for our first ever Introduction to the Arduino class. We're announcing this early so that you have plenty of time to get an order in for an Arduino of your own that you can bring to the class. But\, even if you don't have an Arduino of your own\, you can still come to the class and learn all about what these awesome little devices do! What is Arduino\, you ask? From their home page: Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible\, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists\, designers\, hobbyists\, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. You can order Arduino systems from several places\, including Adafruit and Sparkfun. Both companies have lots of tutorials and howtos to get you started with Arduinos. Date: Thursday\, December 16th\, 2010 Time: 6:30 pm Location: Workshop 88 (Map to Workshop) Cost: $10.00 for non-members/supporting members (does NOT cover the cost of an Arduino\, although small electronic components will be available for your use) Cost: FREE for full members Contact: info@workshop88.com Twitter: @Workshop88 Please contact us with ANY questions or suggestions about this class. We are looking forward to seeing lots of new faces at this class. UPDATE: If you pre-register for the class using the button below\, we will have an arduino + electronics kit for you at the class!

SUMMARY:More intro to electronics
DESCRIPTION: This is the follow up class to our Introduction to Electronics class. Did you attend the first class and get the book and the supplies? Then you only need to sign up for the class. Did you not make it to the first class but want to jump into the electronics with the book and the supplies? We've got you covered here\, too!

SUMMARY:Arduino 201: Sensors and Communication
DESCRIPTION:If you enjoyed our Introduction to Arduino class\, come back for the next class! In Arduino 201\, we’ll be using the Processing framework and the Firmata library for the Arduino to interact with the Arduino from a graphical user interface. This class will build on the Darkness Detector circuit we built in Arduino 101\, adding calibration knobs for high and low\, and outputting the resulting data to a graph using Processing. Students should be familiar with the concepts and circuits taught in Arduino 101\, specifically reading analog inputs and the voltage divider circuit used in the Darkness Detector. Knowledge of Processing is not required. What to Bring A laptop (we have a few spares\, let us know if you need to reserve one) Your arduino kit (or order one with the class) Materials All classes in the Arduino Track require the Arduino Kit (external link to Adafruit). Buy it now ($15 off with tuition) and reuse it for the rest of the classes!

SUMMARY:The ShapeOko and Buildlog projects soon to Workshop 88
DESCRIPTION:Remember the ShapeOko project that we linked to a few weeks ago? Ed is going to be coming to Workshop 88 on Tuesday\, August 16th at 6:30 pm. He'll be bringing the latest revision of his ShapeOko as well as telling us what he learned about running a successful project on Kickstarter. But that's not all! We recently learned about a really cool DIY laser cutter/engraver project. The brains behind that project belong to Bart Dring\, a maker from the Chicago area. Ed invited Bart to come along and tell us about his project on the same night! If you have any questions about this event\, please email us: info@workshop88.com See you on the 16th!

SUMMARY:Learn about EAGLE / Hack the scrolling LED sign
DESCRIPTION: Jim has volunteered to come in and show off what he knows about EAGLE and continue working on the LED scrolling sign this Thursday (8-25) at 6:30 pm at the space. EAGLE is a PCB (printed circuit board) layout design software package. It's useful for designing your own circuit boards for whatever you want to do with them. If time (and interest) permits\, we'll continue hacking on our scrolling LED sign that we started working on last month. This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Come and bring your friends.

SUMMARY:Learn to Program! For Kids (Session 1)
DESCRIPTION:Sure\, you know how to play games on a computer\, but do you know how to program one? How awesome would it be to actually control what the computer is doing instead of just playing someone else's game? If you come to Workshop 88's kid's programming lessons we help you learn you how. We use a variety of tools like Kids Ruby and MIT Scatch to learn and practice the fundamentals of programming. All interest and ability levels are welcome. Ages 8 - 16. Please bring your own laptop and power cord. We will provide you with the software needed. $25 per class and $25 for the textbook (or join W88 for $50 / month and come to all the classes you want!) Each Session is independent and the classes will be ongoing\, so come whenever you can! Session 1 January 5th\, 7-8:30pm Session 2 January 26th\, 7-8:30pm Questions? Email info@workshop88.com.

SUMMARY:Hackers-on-a-Train comes to Workshop 88!
DESCRIPTION:We're a part of the Hackers-on-a-Train tour this summer! Mitch Altman is going to be stopping by Workshop 88 and running a workshop where you can build an electronics kit to take home and have as your own. We're really thrilled to have Mitch stop by. He has taught thousands of people to build electronics. Mitch is a founding member of Noisebridge\, one of the oldest hackerspaces in the country. Here are some of the kits you can build: TV-B-Gone -- (turn off any TV in public places!) "Hi My Name Is" badge -- (you may have seen Mitch wearing one) Brain Machine -- (Meditate\, Hallucinate\, and Trip Out!) Mignonette Game -- (build your own handheld game console!) Trippy RGB Waves -- (interac tive blinky lights!) LEDcube -- (animated 3D cube of LEDs!) MiniPOV -- (more cool blinky lights!) BoArduino -- (solderless breadborad Arduino!) Diavolino -- (shield compatible Arduino from Evil Mad Science!) OpenHeart -- (animate fun patterns in the shape of a heart!) LoL Shield -- (Lots of LEDs for your Arduino!) Atari Punk Console -- (make noise!) microcontroller programmer (USBtinyISP)-- (program all your AVR family chips!) This event is FREE\, although we are encouraging donations to Workshop 88 if you're able. You will simply buy whatever kit (or kits) you wish to build from Mitch. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
